The Boston Patriots, now the New England Patriots, used the Curry College football field for its in-season practice facility in 1967 while playing its home games in Fenway Park. During their year at Curry, the Patriots were led by American Football League MVP Jim Nance, Hall of Fame member Nick Buoniconti, and kicker and longtime Patriot announcer, Gino Cappelletti. Heisman Trophy winner Joe Bellino from Winchester and The Naval Academy was also a member of the Boston team, as was Everett High School and Harvard University great, Bobby Leo.

In 2020, Curry announced that they would no longer be using the colonel mascot on uniforms or merchandise. A decision on whether to change the team name is pending.
